Student Profiles

Profiles of top students in Web design, graphic design, and digital media degree programs

What kinds of students take degree programs at Sessions College? Students of Web design, graphic design, and digital media in the Associate's programs range from recent high school graduates to adult learners. Some are active military students, some have transferred from other art schools, some are new to the workforce, and some are experienced professionals. What unites these students is a passion for design and the courage and ambition to make their creative career goals a reality.

Featured Students

Our featured students in the Graphic Design, Web Design, and Digital Media Associate's programs include:

• Erin Ramsdale - A freelance designer balancing her studies and a busy full-time work schedule.
  "Throughout my time at Sessions College I have gained a stronger confidence in my writing abilities. I also have a good solid foundation in the building blocks of design. Now I can look at my own work with a critical eye and find areas of improvement."

• Hiba Abugosh - A recent high school grad who wanted to study something she was passionate about: design.
  "After my first semester here, I couldn't be more satisfied with what Sessions College has to provide. The faculty and instructors are all very inspiring and it's a great opportunity for me to be able to work with and learn from professionals."

• Jason Maclean - A professional Web designer looking to transition his role from programming to art direction.
  "I was intrigued with Sessions as soon as I saw the site and read the program outlines. A chat agent was available to answer my many questions, which helped a lot! They had exactly what I wanted, which was an accelerated program that encompassed the graphic design field, and the school has an excellent reputation, which is very important to me."

• Justin Ashley - A self-described non-artist attracted to Web design by its many technical challenges.
  "I really enjoy the freedom I've found in being able to express myself in a way I never thought possible. I have tremendous joy in taking a design in my head and seeing it come to life on the screen."

• Chris DePrater - An active U.S. army servicemember who found himself designing everything for his unit including t-shirts and mascots.
  "I want to have a job that doesn't feel like a job, because you love what you're doing. Growing up I was always drawing, but the idea of doing art/design as a job scared me. Later on, designing t-shirts, mascots, and other items I realized that the fun I was having was what being a graphic designer was all about."

• Megan Skipworth - An educator and curriculum designer drawn to design by her teaching experiences.
  "What mostly attracted me to Sessions College is the faculty. The teachers are knowledgeable, working professionals. It seemed like the perfect place to learn from people who are working in the field today."

• Malik Perry - An adult transfer student returning to complete art school, a lifelong dream.
  "I have always had images and pictures in my head and as a child I learned that I have talent in the visual arts. As I got older and realized that I could make money with my talent I began my quest to pursue a career in design and a degree is the first step."

• Tim Dekeyser - A print production professional looking to do more design projects in and outside of work.
  "I compared several online design schools as well as some local schools. I chose Sessions due to the caliber of work that I had seen coming from the students attending Sessions. I also read many online reviews, and Sessions was the one online design school that has a solid reputation. Never having studied online, I wasn't sure what to expect, but the experience has been excellent."
